I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 651: A Brand New Era
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
With the aid of Divine Power, Lin Yi didn't even need to tap into the Power of the Primordial. Effortlessly, he integrated the Star Core into his personal dimension.
The chaotic expanse, rife with diverse elements, was plunged into absolute blackness once Lin Yi secured the Star Core, consuming the entirety of the Elemental Star's core.
Employing the formidable prowess of his Eyes of Golden Flame to penetrate the darkness, Lin Yi commenced his search for supplementary materials at the planet's depths, necessary for verification.
Thanks to the memories assimilated via the Touch of Reincarnation, the need for protracted validation procedures was eliminated. Lin Yi swiftly located the required items in a mere minute.
Casting a final glance at this celestial body, now destined for desolation without its Star Core, a flicker of regret crossed Lin Yi's features. He then activated Gale Wings and ascended into the void.
Across the boundless cosmos, innumerable planets teemed with life, continuing their eternal growth.
Yet, within the modest star system cradling Blue Star, a solitary planet had become utterly devoid of life.
The Elemental Star, swathed in disarray, lay dormant and lusterless, its surface a mere scattering of elements and discarded materials.
Following the extraction of the Elemental Spirit Crystal by Blue Star's specialists, the Elemental Star, stripped of any developmental value, met this desolate fate.
Imperial Capital, Great Xia of Blue Star.
The culmination of half a month's dedicated labor by numerous elite Xia Engineering Teams—a sprawling complex of fifty square kilometers, serving as a new, unified headquarters for all Blue Star professionals.
Structures with sharp, modern lines and a technologically advanced aesthetic emerged from the earth, their interconnected designs radiating freshness and grandeur, a testament to Xia's millennia-old cultural legacy.
These buildings, imbued with spiritual vitality, possessed an innate dynamism that inspired awe and profound reverence merely by their presence.
On this day, the grounds teemed with onlookers; a survey of the expansive headquarters revealed a gathering of formidable, high-tier professionals.
The palpable energy signaled a significant, unprecedented event that the professionals of Blue Star were about to witness.
High-tier professionals from various nations, standing within the magnificent Xia headquarters, wore expressions of evident pride and a collective sense of honor as they converged upon the central plaza.
Dominating the front of the Blue Star Professional Headquarters' central plaza was a raised platform designed in the traditional Xia style.
Seated upon this elevated stage were senior officials of the Blue Star Professional Alliance.
Surprisingly, occupying the central seat was not Xu Sheng, the Alliance Leader of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, but a middle-aged couple exhibiting no trace of Source Power fluctuations.
A subtle nervousness flickered across their faces as they scanned their surroundings uneasily, betraying their unfamiliarity with such a grand occasion and their central placement.
Despite their apparent apprehension, the leaders from every nation maintained expressions devoid of any condescension.
Regardless of the immense status one held within their own homeland, even commanding tens of thousands, before this couple, they were compelled to offer a respectful address: Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
The conflict on the Elemental Star was no secret.
Professionals from diverse countries and those from Blue Star returned, receiving appropriate military commendations. They then exchanged surplus materials for merit points before rejoining their respective nations to continue their cultivation.
As participants in the expedition, hailed as heroes, they naturally granted numerous interviews.
When queried about the single most significant contributor on the Elemental Star battlefield, every respondent unhesitatingly spoke Lin Yi's name.
His sheer might against the apex predators of two entire planets, which he dispatched with apparent ease, evoked a powerful surge of excitement among the professionals who had fought on the Elemental Star.
This individual represented the pinnacle of pride for all of Blue Star.
However, having once again ascended to prominence, Lin Yi opted against public appearances upon his return to Blue Star.
Instead, he made a brief visit to his home before journeying with Xiyue to an Antarctic ice cave for intensive, private cultivation, remaining in seclusion until the present.
The reintroduction of Elemental Spirit Crystals, a unique material, to Blue Star generated considerable excitement.
Particularly those containing two or more elemental properties, enabling professionals to absorb and harness dual elements, these high-tier Elemental Spirit Crystals ignited a frenzy.
A limited quantity found their way onto the open market.
In their quest to acquire these coveted Elemental Spirit Crystals, the prominent families across Blue Star's nations engaged in fierce competition, expending vast fortunes.
At several international auctions, the price for high-tier Elemental Spirit Crystals was driven to an astonishing average of 3 billion Xia currency, a testament to their immense value.
For the vast majority, these assets were funneled into the Blue Star Professional Alliance’s treasury, unlocking a pathway for acquisition via military merit exchange.
Consequently, obtaining these invaluable resources demanded military merits that equated to astronomical figures.
Elemental Spirit Crystals, containing but a solitary element, also emerged as a topic of intense discussion.
It's not a given that every professional possesses an affinity for multiple elements.
For common professionals, demonstrating an affinity for even one element is considered quite commendable.
Only professionals who are not Mages find it challenging to harness elemental power; through the special tool of Elemental Spirit Crystals, this predicament can be overcome.
The allure of Elemental Spirit Crystals, each housing a single element, intensified their status as highly coveted, rare materials.
"Ahem, esteemed attendees, today heralds a momentous transformation for Blue Star."
"As Blue Star ascents in power, so too does the might of our Blue Star professionals. The boundless resources, coupled with Elemental Spirit Crystals that empower non-mages with Elemental Affinity, have dramatically amplified the collective strength of Blue Star professionals."
Observing the assembled professionals below the platform, with journalists from nearly every nation in position, Xu Sheng rose from his seat, cleared his throat, and commenced the opening address he had meticulously crafted.
His speech resonated with power and conviction.
The shared sentiments within were potent enough to ignite fervent excitement.
And so, upon Xu Sheng’s conclusion, the entirety of the headquarters erupted in thunderous applause.
The ovation persisted for a full two minutes before Xu Sheng slowly elevated his right hand, gesturing for the crowd to quiet down.
"Fellow Blue Star professionals, I am certain many of you have firsthand experience with the Elemental Star battle, have you not? How effortless the victory was; a unified sentiment must surely reside in your hearts, and yes, that sentiment is Lin Yi."
"However, it is with deep regret that Lin Yi could not grace this convention with his presence today, unable to witness firsthand the day all Blue Star professionals command elemental power. This is because our hero is currently undergoing closed-door cultivation in Antarctica, dedicating himself to enhancing his strength."
Upon hearing this, every professional within the plaza felt a profound sense of regret wash over them.
Though they understood the slim possibility of capturing Lin Yi’s attention, they still yearned for a moment to shine before him, aspiring to become an integral part of the unbreakable bulwark that is Blue Star.
Following this, Xu Sheng’s tone shifted, and the cameramen adeptly directed the main screen’s focus towards the couple seated beside Xu Sheng.
